well, it's coming again, and im gonna miss it again. just wondering what people are getting, as usual. if i had the money and i was actually going, i'd get some of my beloved leaftail geckos. perhaps bearded pigmy chameleons. but now i can only dream of such things.

but i wanna know what other people are getting, and hopefully someone will be willing to scout out the uroplatus for me.

May 3 & 4, btw. exposition building @ the fairgrounds.

not going this time, again.

their tarantula selection (primarily the fact that 95% are WC) depresses me. and i'm holding off any reptile additions until we get a house.

so instead of buying critters, i'm saving up for a stove, fridge and dishwasher

4/22/2008 11:10:30 PM

wow...so i guess no one is going? it's this weekend.

5/1/2008 8:04:18 PM

i have zero cash

5/1/2008 8:07:34 PM

i want to go, but i don't have time. ugh.

5/1/2008 8:13:15 PM

this is kinda a bad week...exam week...

5/1/2008 8:14:38 PM

i have a wedding shower to go to

5/1/2008 8:22:40 PM

I'm going...yay!

5/1/2008 9:18:18 PM

i would go, but my roomie brings home enough for the both of us

5/1/2008 9:55:32 PM

not going. i'm finally down to just 3 cats, 1 bird, and a baby.

5/1/2008 10:09:27 PM

i'm going, probably gonna see what frogs they have. i've gotten out of them over the last year and gotten really heavy into saltwater, but want to start back up a collection.

5/1/2008 10:59:44 PM

I think I'm going Sunday. I just purchased another chin this past weekend and it died in less than 2 days and I'm so upset The breeder told me she was in shock from the transition of moving from her partner, but then I found out that she had pneumonia and there was nothing I could do. The bitch who I bought it from won't refund my money either and I have to find another breeder to get a mosaic from, so I'll be looking around.

5/2/2008 12:49:54 PM

must.. resist..

must.. remember.. upcoming expenses..




i'd go just to look, but that's about $16 right there for the two of us.

5/2/2008 1:00:58 PM

If I go, I will end up coming home with something. Two cats is enough. I wouldn't mind having a snake again, though. Or a sugar glider.

5/2/2008 1:07:05 PM

augh i want a sugar glider so bad but I have enough as it is :-[
must. practice. restraint. must.

5/2/2008 2:01:46 PM

my husband had sugar gliders. the female even had a litter.

he will never let another one of "those creatures" into his home again.

5/2/2008 4:51:23 PM

^^^^^ be cautious buying a chin at the show. The animals there are stressed out. I've had 2 friends buy young chins there and both died within days/weeks.
My beige female is pregnant (bred to a black velvet). She's due sometime mid june. My pinkwhite and ebony have mated so I am expecting some kits from that pair as well.

I"m going tomorrow morning but really only for crickets. I forgot to order them this week and it's cheaper to buy a box there.

I have too many pets to list

5/2/2008 10:07:33 PM

aww i wanna go! I want a really really big frog. like tree-frog type skin...but bigger than their size.

5/2/2008 10:49:39 PM

i have a 95-gallon aquarium that's just begging to be turned into a vivarium

5/2/2008 11:19:43 PM

Do they sell lots of baby birds/stuff for birds? Or are they mostly reptiles?

5/3/2008 12:44:46 AM

eh nothing impressive this year

I bought crickets and mealworms. Was tempted by an egyptian uro and a hairless guinea pig.

I was a little bothered by how many vendors were selling hatchling/juv iguanas. I hadn't seen that many iguanas in years. I saw one person buying 3 of them! one for each of their kids. I wish more vendors gave out care sheets or stressed that the buyer knows how to care for what they're buying.

5/3/2008 11:33:38 PM

^from what i heard, all the vendors sold their good shit at other shows in the past couple weeks. glad i didnt get sucked into it, heard there wasnt even a single uroplatus.

5/6/2008 4:59:27 PM

^ i saw 1 or 2, but they were at the big wholesaler booths so you know they were fresh off the boat probably

5/6/2008 6:33:37 PM

yea, typical...you know which species? i had someone lookin for me who said they didnt see any. guess they werent really lookin.
